The Fifth Residents’ Review Course was conducted between the 19th and the 22nd of October, 2000.

A total of 321 residents attended this course from all over the country. This year around 50% of the registrations were received through the net, showing that our radiology resident community is getting increasingly net-savvy.

Dr. Prashant Shetty could not make it due to an unforeseen illness and his place was ably taken by Drs. Priscilla Joshi, Shailendra Maheshwari and Sachin Gujjar.

This year we did not have poster presentations, unlike last year , but plan to have them again next year.

Dr. Prasad Beeraka won the quiz becoming the 3rd REF Scholar for the RSNA and Dr. Anand Rahalkar won the second prize becoming the 3rd REF Scholar for the IRIA. Prasad is also from Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences as was Dr. Sanjeeva Prasad Kalwa , the first REF Scholar.

The final program was held as follows:
